However actor Rufus Hound has come to the rescue of punters who might find themselves at a loose end in London as a result – offering disappointed fans free tickets to see him in West End musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

‘If you have a ticket for tonight’s Secret Cinema, turn up at the Savoy Theatre instead and you’ll get a complimentary ticket for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels – The Musical,’ he wrote on his blog. You don’t have to do anything other than turn up with your Secret Cinema ticket, and you’ll be welcomed into the world of another cult 80s movie.

‘Go to ‘Back To The Future’ when they re-schedule you, but tonight, if you’ve got a big gang of pals all in London, all excited about going out and now you have nowt to do, well, now you do :)

‘And for anyone who doesn’t want to, I hope your night doesn’t end up too ruined.’
